Study on Heating of Electron Plasma by Electric Field Magnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave Perturbations,
Abstract
The perturbation in the velocity distribution function by the application of magnetic field, electric and electromagnetic field perturbation has been studied. Boltzmann transport equations are solved to obtain the relevant perturbations in the velocity distribution function. The rate of change of electron energy with time is calculated for various field perturbations. The heating of electron component of the fully ionized and weakly ionized magnetoplasma has also been studied. The effect of propagating and localized magnetic perturbation has been considered. Electron heating has been estimated for assumed magnitude and frequency of magnetic perturbation and magnetoplasma parameters. The study of localized electric field perturbation on the heating of electron component of the plasma has also been included. Adopting a simple model, the feasibility of devising laboratory experiment for electron heating has been discussed.
